HMKL ALIVE BAIT 85S LURE – Super Ayaya

HMKL Alive Bait 85S Lure

The HMKL Alive Bait 85S Lure is a slow-sinking swimbait designed to target fish holding deeper in the water column or when surface presentations aren’t drawing attention. Part of the proven Alive Bait series, this lure features a realistic segmented body that swims with a natural “S” motion on a steady retrieve.

Ideal for species like Flathead, Mangrove Jack, and Barramundi, the 85S is perfect for probing deeper banks, drop-offs, and structure. It excels in pressured environments where subtle, lifelike presentation is the key to getting bites.

Engineered with premium Vanfook DT-45S treble hooks and finished in high-quality lifelike patterns, the HMKL Alive Bait 85S combines precision design with deadly effectiveness. Use slow retrieves, pauses, and subtle rod twitches to mimic a wounded baitfish and convert curious followers into aggressive strikes.
